“Bigger Than The Whole Sky” is the fifteenth track off Midnights (3am Edition) and the second bonus track on the album, which was surprise released at 3am, three hours after the original Midnights release. “Bigger Than The Whole Sky” is a song about losing someone important to you despite only spending a short time with them and wondering what it would have been like if things had turned out differently. Swift leaves the sort of loss open to interpretation, but it likely signifies a miscarriage or the loss of a loved one that was gone too soon. Additionally, parallels to “Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve”, the nineteenth track of Midnights (3am Edition), imply it could be about Swift ‘losing’ her childhood and innocence after allegedly being groomed by a 32-year-old John Mayer when she was 19.

[Verse 1]

No words appear before me in the aftermath

Salt streams out my eyes and into my ears

Every single thing I touch becomes sick with sadness

'Cause it's all over now, all out to sea

[Chorus]

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

You were bigger than the whole sky

You were more than just a short time

And I've got a lot to pine about

I've got a lot to live without

I'm never gonna meet

What could've been, would've been

What should've been you

What could've been, would've been you

[Verse 2]

Did some bird flap its wings ovеr in Asia?

Did some force take you bеcause I didn't pray?

Every single thing to come has turned into ashes

'Cause it's all over, it's not meant to be

So I'll say words I don't believe

[Chorus]

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

You were bigger than the whole sky

You were more than just a short time

And I've got a lot to pine about

I've got a lot to live without

I'm never gonna meet

What could've been, would've been

What should've been you

[Bridge]

What could've been, would've been you

What could've been, would've been

What should've been you

What could've been, would've been you

(What could've been, would've been you)

[Chorus]

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

You were bigger than the whole sky

You were more than just a short time

And I've got a lot to pine about

I've got a lot to live without

I'm never gonna meet

What could've been, would've been

What should've been you
